Mexico is stepping up efforts to protect its oil industry and tame the brutal drug cartels that rule its rich shale fields along the Gulf Coast and are stealing billions of dollars worth of oil from pipelines.
Figures released by Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex), Mexico's state-owned company last week showed the gangs are becoming more prolific and sophisticated.
Just in 2014, thieves across Mexico have drilled 2,481 illegal taps into state-owned pipelines.
The Zetas and the Gulf cartel, two rival gangs, use Tamaulipas, the state where Ciudad Victoria and Ciudad Mier are located, as a route to ferry drugs and migrants to the US.
They have diversified their business, selling stolen gas and crude to refineries in Texas or to gas stations on either side of the border.
In Tamaulipas, Mexico has placed military leaders in charge of the security, sending soldiers, marines and federal police to patrol key cities.
ArmyColonelJuan Carlos Guzman, in charge of security in the capital of Tamaulipas, Ciudad Victoria said that at least twice a day gangs pull up to one of the hundreds of pipelines that crisscross the state.
Guzman also pointed out however that because the cartels have "falcons" - the lowest level members who are the eyes and ears of the streets - they never get caught when authorities are nearby.
More than a fifth of the illegal taps occurred in Tamaulipas, the gulf state neighbouring Texas, that is a cornerstone for Mexico's future oil plans.
But the army's presence has effectively torn apart gangs' structure and operations.
Edna Ramos runs a small shop near the centre of Ciudad Mier, and said she feels safe again living in her hometown.
Arrests and violence have taken out many key cartel leaders, but the main problem people still face is the reputation Tamaulipas has, which prevents some from making a proper living in what once was their home.

Shale is a sedimentary rock, derived from clay, the most common on Earth, some forms of which contain methane gas.Huge shale deposits can be found across the world, and reserves are estimated at 448,000 billion cubic metres, the equivalent of 140 years of gas consumption at current levels. Half of the deposits are to be found in Asia and North America. But harnessing the gas is technically complex because unlike pockets of natural gas, it is impossible to pump directly as it is embedded in the rock.But it can be extracted using a process known as hydrofracturing or "hydrofracking".

The British Geological Survey announced that shale gas deposits in the north of England are twice the size than previously thought. This is good news for the British industry who has seen North Sea oil and gas reserves dwindle in the pas fifteen years. This is especially good news for Cuadrilla Resources, the only company that has drilled for shale gas in the UK. Shale gas exploration is not without controversy though. A test drill by Cuadrilla caused two earth tremors in 2011 that damaged the well. Local residents fear that this could to groundwater pollution.

List of countries by natural gas proven reserves

This is a list of countries by natural gasproven reserves based on The World Factbook (when no citation is given). or other authoritative third-party sources (as cited). Based on data from BP, at the end of 2009 proved gas reserves were dominated by three countries:Iran, Russia, and Qatar, which together held nearly half the world's proven reserves.

There is some disagreement on which country has the largest proven gas reserves. Sources that consider that Russia has by far the largest proven reserves include the US CIA (47.6 trillion cubic meters), the US Energy Information Administration (49 tcm), and OPEC (48.7 tcm). However, BP credits Russia with only 32.9 tcm, which would place it in second place, slightly behind Iran (33.1 to 33.8 tcm, depending on the source).

Due to constant announcements of shale gasrecoverable reserves, as well as drilling in Central Asia, South America and Africa, deepwater drilling, estimates are undergoing frequent updates, mostly increasing. Since 2000, some countries, notably the US and Canada, have seen large increases in proved gas reserves due to development of shale gas, but shale gas deposits in most countries are yet to be added to reserve calculations.

Gas

Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, liquid, and plasma). A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide). A gas mixture would contain a variety of pure gases much like the air. What distinguishes a gas from liquids and solids is the vast separation of the individual gas particles. This separation usually makes a colorless gas invisible to the human observer. The interaction of gas particles in the presence of electric and gravitational fields are considered negligible as indicated by the constant velocity vectors in the image. One type of commonly known gas is steam.

The gaseous state of matter is found between the liquid and plasma states, the latter of which provides the upper temperature boundary for gases. Bounding the lower end of the temperature scale lie degenerative quantum gases which are gaining increasing attention. High-density atomic gases super cooled to incredibly low temperatures are classified by their statistical behavior as either a Bose gas or a Fermi gas. For a comprehensive listing of these exotic states of matter see list of states of matter.

South Africa is a multiethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions. Its pluralistic makeup is reflected in the constitution's recognition of 11 official languages, which is among the highest number of any country in the world. Two of these languages are of European origin: Afrikaans developed from Dutch and serves as the first language of most white and coloured South Africans; English reflects the legacy of British colonialism, and is commonly used in public and commercial life, though it is fourth-ranked as a spoken first language.

Shale gas is most commonly extracted using a method known as fracking but various other techniques exist. VIDEOGRAPHIC

What is SHALE GAS? What does SHALE GAS mean? SHALE GAS meaning - SHALE GAS - SHALE GAS definition - SHALE GAS explanation.

Shale gas is natural gas that is found trapped within shale formations. Shale gas has become an increasingly important source of natural gas in the United States since the start of this century, and interest has spread to potential gas shales in the rest of the world. In 2000 shale gas provided only 1% of U.S. natural gas production; by 2010 it was over 20% and the U.S. government's Energy Information Administration predicts that by 2035, 46% of the United States' natural gas supply will come from shale gas.
Some analysts expect that shale gas will greatly expand worldwide energy supply. China is estimated to have the world's largest shale gas reserves.
The Obama administration believes that increased shale gas development will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In 2012, US carbon dioxide emissions dropped to a 20-year low. Human and public health will both benefit from shale gas displacing coal burning.
A 2013 review by the United Kingdom Department of Energy and Climate Change noted that most studies of the subject have estimated that life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from shale gas are similar to those of conventional natural gas, and are much less than those from coal, usually about half the greenhouse gas emissions of coal; the noted exception was a 2011 study by Howarth and others of Cornell University, which concluded that shale GHG emissions were as high as those of coal. More recent studies have also concluded that life-cycle shale gas GHG emissions are much less than those of coal, among them, studies by Natural Resources Canada (2012), and a consortium formed by the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory with a number of universities (2012).
Some 2011 studies pointed to high rates of decline of some shale gas wells as an indication that shale gas production may ultimately be much lower than is currently projected. But shale-gas discoveries are also opening up substantial new resources of tight oil / "shale oil".

Challenges hampering exploration of S.A's shale gas reserves

South Africa has potentially one of world's largest untapped shale gas reserves, with an estimated 390 trillion cubic feet stored in the Karoo. Some analysts estimate that around 10 per cent of this gas could be extracted, which could provide us with supply for decades of power generation. There has also been substantial interest in offshore exploration, with oil majors such as Eni, Total and Sasol holding exploration permits. Joining CNBC Africa to discuss the potential of the sectors and the challenges hampering exploration is Aldworth Mbalati, CEO of DeltaNatural Gas, and Chris Bredenhann, AfricaOil and Gas Advisory leader at PwC.

Shale cowboys: fracking under Trump - (VPRO documentary - 2017)

Having your own energy sources is an important weapon in the world economy. Since 2013, the United States has made important foes of fossil-rich opponents like Saudi Arabia important in extracting shale gas and shale oil from its own soil. The price for a barrel of crude oil fell from 100 to less than $50. The Texan shale producers who survived this price tag are the new heroes of the United States. Under president Donald Trump, the shale cowboys are striving to help Europe to become independent. On research in Trumpland.

Mexico is stepping up efforts to protect its oil industry and tame the brutal drug cartels that rule its rich shale fields along the Gulf Coast and are stealing billions of dollars worth of oil from pipelines.
Figures released by Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex), Mexico's state-owned company last week showed the gangs are becoming more prolific and sophisticated.
Just in 2014, thieves across Mexico have drilled 2,481 illegal taps into state-owned pipelines.
The Zetas and the Gulf cartel, two rival gangs, use Tamaulipas, the state where Ciudad Victoria and Ciudad Mier are located, as a route to ferry drugs and migrants to the US.
They have diversified their business, selling stolen gas and crude to refineries in Texas or to gas stations on either side of the border.
In Tamaulipas, Mexico has placed military leaders in charge of the security, sending soldiers, marines and federal police to patrol key cities.
ArmyColonelJuan Carlos Guzman, in charge of security in the capital of Tamaulipas, Ciudad Victoria said that at least twice a day gangs pull up to one of the hundreds of pipelines that crisscross the state.
Guzman also pointed out however that because the cartels have "falcons" - the lowest level members who are the eyes and ears of the streets - they never get caught when authorities are nearby.
More than a fifth of the illegal taps occurred in Tamaulipas, the gulf state neighbouring Texas, that is a cornerstone for Mexico's future oil plans.
But the army's presence has effectively torn apart gangs' structure and operations.

They have diversified their business, selling stolen gas and crude to refineries in Texas or to gas stations on either side of the border.
In Tamaulipas, Mexico has placed military leaders in charge of the security, sending soldiers, marines and federal police to patrol key cities.
ArmyColonelJuan Carlos Guzman, in charge of security in the capital of Tamaulipas, Ciudad Victoria said that at least twice a day gangs pull up to one of the hundreds of pipelines that crisscross the state.
Guzman also pointed out however that because the cartels have "falcons" - the lowest level members who are the eyes and ears of the streets - they never get caught when authorities are nearby.
More than a fifth of the illegal taps occurred in Tamaulipas, the gulf state neighbouring Texas, that is a cornerstone for Mexico's future oil plans.
But the army's presence has effectively torn apart gangs' structure and operations.
Edna Ramos runs a small shop near the centre of Ciudad Mier, and said she feels safe again living in her hometown.
Arrests and violence have taken out many key cartel leaders, but the main problem people still face is the reputation Tamaulipas has, which prevents some from making a proper living in what once was their home.

Shale is a sedimentary rock, derived from clay, the most common on Earth, some forms of which contain methane gas.Huge shale deposits can be found across the world, and reserves are estimated at 448,000 billion cubic metres, the equivalent of 140 years of gas consumption at current levels. Half of the deposits are to be found in Asia and North America. But harnessing the gas is technically complex because unlike pockets of natural gas, it is impossible to pump directly as it is embedded in the rock.But it can be extracted using a process known as hydrofracturing or "hydrofracking".

The British Geological Survey announced that shale gas deposits in the north of England are twice the size than previously thought. This is good news for the British industry who has seen North Sea oil and gas reserves dwindle in the pas fifteen years. This is especially good news for Cuadrilla Resources, the only company that has drilled for shale gas in the UK. Shale gas exploration is not without controversy though. A test drill by Cuadrilla caused two earth tremors in 2011 that damaged the well. Local residents fear that this could to groundwater pollution.

What is SHALE GAS? What does SHALE GAS mean? SHALE GAS meaning - SHALE GAS - SHALE GAS definition - SHALE GAS explanation.

Shale gas is natural gas that is found trapped within shale formations. Shale gas has become an increasingly important source of natural gas in the United States since the start of this century, and interest has spread to potential gas shales in the rest of the world. In 2000 shale gas provided only 1% of U.S. natural gas production; by 2010 it was over 20% and the U.S. government's Energy Information Administration predicts that by 2035, 46% of the United States' natural gas supply will come from shale gas.
Some analysts expect that shale gas will greatly expand worldwide energy supply. China is estimated to have the world's largest shale gas reserves.
The Obama administration believes that increased shale gas development will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In 2012, US carbon dioxide emissions dropped to a 20-year low. Human and public health will both benefit from shale gas displacing coal burning.
A 2013 review by the United Kingdom Department of Energy and Climate Change noted that most studies of the subject have estimated that life-cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from shale gas are similar to those of conventional natural gas, and are much less than those from coal, usually about half the greenhouse gas emissions of coal; the noted exception was a 2011 study by Howarth and others of Cornell University, which concluded that shale GHG emissions were as high as those of coal. More recent studies have also concluded that life-cycle shale gas GHG emissions are much less than those of coal, among them, studies by Natural Resources Canada (2012), and a consortium formed by the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory with a number of universities (2012).
Some 2011 studies pointed to high rates of decline of some shale gas wells as an indication that shale gas production may ultimately be much lower than is currently projected. But shale-gas discoveries are also opening up substantial new resources of tight oil / "shale oil".

South Africa has potentially one of world's largest untapped shale gas reserves, with an estimated 390 trillion cubic feet stored in the Karoo. Some analysts estimate that around 10 per cent of this gas could be extracted, which could provide us with supply for decades of power generation. There has also been substantial interest in offshore exploration, with oil majors such as Eni, Total and Sasol holding exploration permits. Joining CNBC Africa to discuss the potential of the sectors and the challenges hampering exploration is Aldworth Mbalati, CEO of DeltaNatural Gas, and Chris Bredenhann, AfricaOil and Gas Advisory leader at PwC.

The UK government is going ahead with its plans to commence fracking across more than half of the country, hoping that it will boost the economy and provide an abundant supply of natural gas.
Critics of the process argue that it contaminates groundwater and damages the environment and public health. A grassroots resistance movement has emerged to fight the introduction of fracking in the UK, and it appears to be gaining momentum throughout the country.
VICE News travels to Blackpool, Lancashire, to see the fractivists in action. The seaside resort town is at the center of a David and Goliath battle between local residents and the energy company Cuadrilla over fracking in the region, which is believed to have one of the l...

Shale cowboys: fracking under Trump - (VPRO documentary - 2017)

Having your own energy sources is an important weapon in the world economy. Since 2013, the United States has made important foes of fossil-rich opponents like Saudi Arabia important in extracting shale gas and shale oil from its own soil. The price for a barrel of crude oil fell from 100 to less than $50. The Texan shale producers who survived this price tag are the new heroes of the United States. Under president Donald Trump, the shale cowboys are striving to help Europe to become independent. On research in Trumpland.
Original title: Schaliecowboys
Schale stone was considered worthless by the oil and gas industry in the past. They passed through on their way to expensive oil and gas that lay deeper. Until a small Texan gas company found a way in the late 1990's to win gas from hard-sh...

Unconventional Gas

May's ShellLondon Lecture, delivered by Melvyn Giles at the Geological Society on Wednesday 9 May2012.
The past decade has seen spectacular growth in the exploration and development of so-called 'unconventional gas' in North America. Only a decade ago, these hydrocarbons would rarely have been considered for extraction, but the development of new technology has turned accepted wisdom of petroleum exploration on its head.
Unconventionals include a wide range of resources, including shale gas/oil and coal bed methane. All are trapped within tight rocks, and evaluating what is available is not straightforward. Although it is becoming clear that vast volumes exist on a global scale, their production raises many social and environmental challenges.

If you've watch the previous video chapter on Peak Cheap Oil, you may be wondering how any of that could be still be true given all the positive recent stories about shale oil and shale gas , many of which have proclaimed that “Peak Oil is dead”.
The mainstream press has faithfully repeated every press and PR statement made by the shale producers. And if you simply followed the headlines, you might even believe this about the US:
- It is soon going to be energy independent,
- Its oil production will surpass even Saudi Arabia putting it in the number one spot,and

IEA Gas 2017 Global Launch

July 13, 2017
The natural gas market is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Industry has overtaken the power sector as the driving force behind the growing use of gas. At the same time, structural changes in gas supply and trade are changing global gas market. Heavily oversupplied markets, the ongoing shale-gas revolution in the United States and the fast-growing LNG trade are disrupting traditional gas business and pricing models. This is forcing market players to redefine their strategies and explore new markets.
Please join the Center on Global Energy Policy for the global launch of the IEA’s annual natural-gas market analysis and forecast report. Renamed Gas 2017, the market report provides a detailed analysis of supply and trade developments, infrastructure investments, and dem...

It's America's controversial answer to an energy-secure future. But with questions remaining about damage to the environment and people's health, fracking is causing a major rift across affected communities.
"It's the answer to our local economy, our national economy, our state economy and it is the new foreign policy", says Doug McClinko, County Commissioner of Towanda, Pennsylvania. The area is rich in shale gas and to many like Doug, fracking is the key to a more self-reliant and secure future. In an area where rural livelihoods are under intense strain, the personal incentives for opening the door to fracking is clear: "It puts kids into college". But as global oil prices plummet, ripping profits from under landowners' feet, and more and more residents report severe water contamination, questions are coming to the fore and dividing communities. For Ray Kemble, a notable anti-fracking activist whose water began running green after the wells popped up, the benefits are nowhere to be seen. "They've destroyed my life", he says.

- Its oil production will surpass even Saudi Arabia putting it in the number one spot,and
- The US will even be exporting oil again like the days of old.
The only problem with this story is that it is misleading in some very important ways. And entirely false in others.
Here are there are five main things to know about the shale plays.
1. They deplete very quickly. The typical shale, or tight rock, well production declines by 80% to 90% within three years.
2. They are expensive. All oil and gas coming form them is several times more expensive than what we got from conventional oil plays.
3. They are environmentally damaging because the fracking fluid is highly toxic and much of it escapes during the blowback process and sometimes water wells are contaminated.
4. Because each well has low flow and depletes quickly, massive numbers of wells must be drilled creating significant infrastructure damage to roads and bridges. Currently no state or municipal authorities are capturing anything close to the total cost of the infrastructure damage from the shale operators which means taxpayers are gong to be left paying those bills.
5. Not all shale plays are created equal – some are vastly superior to others. And even within a given play there are sweet spots and dry holes which can only be determined by punching a well in and seeing what comes out. Some call this the ‘mapping by braille’ approach.
When we put all of these together it adds up to a very expensive set of plays that will only last for a very short while.
To the extent that mainstream press has been conveying the message that peak oil is dead and that our energy concerns have been laid to rest is the extent to which they have been misleading us.
In many ways, the increased crude output from shale plays has bought us some time. We can either use the temporary boost in energy supplies, expensive though they are, to build towards a future when these too eventually run out, or we can use them as an excuse to carry on with business as usual.
If we do choose business as usual as our operating strategy - I use that word very loosely – then we will just march straight into the shale oil peak around the year 2020 and be very disappointed with ourselves and our utterly inappropriate transportation infrastructure.

If you've watch the previous video chapter on Peak Cheap Oil, you may be wondering how any of that could be still be true given all the positive recent stories about shale oil and shale gas , many of which have proclaimed that “Peak Oil is dead”.
The mainstream press has faithfully repeated every press and PR statement made by the shale producers. And if you simply followed the headlines, you might even believe this about the US:
- It is soon going to be energy independent,
- Its oil production will surpass even Saudi Arabia putting it in the number one spot,and
- The US will even be exporting oil again like the days of old.
The only problem with this story is that it is misleading in some very important ways. And entirely false in others.
Here are there are five main things to know about the shale plays.
1. They deplete very quickly. The typical shale, or tight rock, well production declines by 80% to 90% within three years.
2. They are expensive. All oil and gas coming form them is several times more expensive than what we got from conventional oil plays.
3. They are environmentally damaging because the fracking fluid is highly toxic and much of it escapes during the blowback process and sometimes water wells are contaminated.
4. Because each well has low flow and depletes quickly, massive numbers of wells must be drilled creating significant infrastructure damage to roads and bridges. Currently no state or municipal authorities are capturing anything close to the total cost of the infrastructure damage from the shale operators which means taxpayers are gong to be left paying those bills.
5. Not all shale plays are created equal – some are vastly superior to others. And even within a given play there are sweet spots and dry holes which can only be determined by punching a well in and seeing what comes out. Some call this the ‘mapping by braille’ approach.

July 13, 2017
The natural gas market is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Industry has overtaken the power sector as the driving force behind the growing use of gas. At the same time, structural changes in gas supply and trade are changing global gas market. Heavily oversupplied markets, the ongoing shale-gas revolution in the United States and the fast-growing LNG trade are disrupting traditional gas business and pricing models. This is forcing market players to redefine their strategies and explore new markets.
Please join the Center on Global Energy Policy for the global launch of the IEA’s annual natural-gas market analysis and forecast report. Renamed Gas 2017, the market report provides a detailed analysis of supply and trade developments, infrastructure investments, and demand-growth forecast through 2022. Presenting the report will be Dr. Fatih Birol, the IEA’s Executive Director, and Peter Fraser, the head of the IEA’s Gas, Coal and Power Markets Division. Bob McNally, Founder and President of The Rapidan Group and Center on Global Energy Policy Fellow will moderate the discussion following the presentation.

Shale gas is natural gas that is found trapped within shale formations. Shale gas has become an increasingly important source of natural gas in the United States since the start of this century, and interest has spread to potential gas shales in the rest of the world. In 2000 shale gas provided only 1% of U.S. natural gas production; by 2010 it was over 20% and the U.S. government's Energy Information Administration predicts that by 2035, 46% of the United States' natural gas supply will come from shale gas.
Some analysts expect that shale gas will greatly expand worldwide energy supply. China is estimated to have the world's largest shale gas reserves. A study by the Baker Institute of Public Policy at Rice University concluded that increased shale gas production in the US and Canada could help prevent Russia and Persian Gulf countries from dictating higher prices for the gas they export to European countries.

Shale gas

Shale is a sedimentary rock found in huge deposits across the world. Exploitable reserves are currently estimated at 206,000 billion cubic metres, roughly the equivalent of conventional gas reserves. Gas can be extracted from shale rock in a process known as fracking.VIDEOGRAPHIC

Shale gas risk or opportunity?

This video on Shale Gas seeks to put forward a balanced view of the shale gas industry in Europe. Using experiences from EU Member States and commentary from experts and representatives from industry and NGOs, the video dispels myths about both the benefits and concerns surrounding shale gas exploration and makes the case for EU action.
The European Commission adopted a Recommendation aiming to ensure that proper environmental and climate safeguards are in place for "fracking" -- the high-volume hydraulic fracturing technique used in shale gas operations.
The Recommendation should help all Member States address risks and improve transparency for citizens. It also lays the ground for a level playing field for industry and establishes a clearer framework for investors.

Mexico's largest shale and gas reserves now open to private investors

Mexico is stepping up efforts to protect its oil industry and tame the brutal drug cartels that rule its rich shale fields along the Gulf Coast and are stealing billions of dollars worth of oil from pipelines.
Figures released by Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex), Mexico's state-owned company last week showed the gangs are becoming more prolific and sophisticated.
Just in 2014, thieves across Mexico have drilled 2,481 illegal taps into state-owned pipelines.
The Zetas and the Gulf cartel, two rival gangs, use Tamaulipas, the state where Ciudad Victoria and Ciudad Mier are located, as a route to ferry drugs and migrants to the US.
They have diversified their business, selling stolen gas and crude to refineries in Texas or to gas stations on either side of the border.
In Tamaulipas, Mexico has placed military leaders in charge of the security, sending soldiers, marines and federal police to patrol key cities.
ArmyColonelJuan Carlos Guzman, in charge of security in the capital of Tamaulipas, Ciudad Victoria said that at least twice a day gangs pull up to one of the hundreds of pipelines that crisscross the state.
Guzman also pointed out however that because the cartels have "falcons" - the lowest level members who are the eyes and ears of the streets - they never get caught when authorities are nearby.
More than a fifth of the illegal taps occurred in Tamaulipas, the gulf state neighbouring Texas, that is a cornerstone for Mexico's future oil plans.
But the army's presence has effectively torn apart gangs' structure and operations.
Edna Ramos runs a small shop near the centre of Ciudad Mier, and said she feels safe again living in her hometown.
Arrests and violence have taken out many key cartel leaders, but the main problem people still face is the reputation Tamaulipas has, which prevents some from making a proper living in what once was their home.

SHALE GAS - A controversial fuel

Shale is a sedimentary rock, derived from clay, the most common on Earth, some forms of which contain methane gas.Huge shale deposits can be found across the world, and reserves are estimated at 448,000 billion cubic metres, the equivalent of 140 years of gas consumption at current levels. Half of the deposits are to be found in Asia and North America. But harnessing the gas is technically complex because unlike pockets of natural gas, it is impossible to pump directly as it is embedded in the rock.But it can be extracted using a process known as hydrofracturing or "hydrofracking".

Shale gas in the UK: a heated debate

The British Geological Survey announced that shale gas deposits in the north of England are twice the size than previously thought. This is good news for the British industry who has seen North Sea oil and gas reserves dwindle in the pas fifteen years. This is especially good news for Cuadrilla Resources, the only company that has drilled for shale gas in the UK. Shale gas exploration is not without controversy though. A test drill by Cuadrilla caused two earth tremors in 2011 that damaged the well. Local residents fear that this could to groundwater pollution.

Unconventional Gas

May's ShellLondon Lecture, delivered by Melvyn Giles at the Geological Society on Wednesday 9 May2012.
The past decade has seen spectacular growth in the exploration and development of so-called 'unconventional gas' in North America. Only a decade ago, these hydrocarbons would rarely have been considered for extraction, but the development of new technology has turned accepted wisdom of petroleum exploration on its head.
Unconventionals include a wide range of resources, including shale gas/oil and coal bed methane. All are trapped within tight rocks, and evaluating what is available is not straightforward. Although it is becoming clear that vast volumes exist on a global scale, their production raises many social and environmental challenges.
This presentation will examine the origin and range of unconventional resources, the controversies which surround their exploitation, and their potential for contributing to a solution to global energy challenges.

It's America's controversial answer to an energy-secure future. But with questions remaining about damage to the environment and people's health, fracking is causing a major rift across affected communities.
"It's the answer to our local economy, our national economy, our state economy and it is the new foreign policy", says Doug McClinko, County Commissioner of Towanda, Pennsylvania. The area is rich in shale gas and to many like Doug, fracking is the key to a more self-reliant and secure future. In an area where rural livelihoods are under intense strain, the personal incentives for opening the door to fracking is clear: "It puts kids into college". But as global oil prices plummet, ripping profits from under landowners' feet, and more and more residents report severe water contamination, questions are coming to the fore and dividing communities. For Ray Kemble, a notable anti-fracking activist whose water began running green after the wells popped up, the benefits are nowhere to be seen. "They've destroyed my life", he says.

The natural gas market is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Industry has overtaken the power sector as the driving force behind the growing use of gas. At the same time, structural changes in gas supply and trade are changing global gas market. Heavily oversupplied markets, the ongoing shale-gas revolution in the United States and the fast-growing LNG trade are disrupting traditional gas business and pricing models. This is forcing market players to redefine their strategies and explore new markets.
Please join the Center on Global Energy Policy for the global launch of the IEA’s annual natural-gas market analysis and forecast report. Renamed Gas 2017, the market report provides a detailed analysis of supply and trade developments, infrastructure investments, and demand-growth forecast through 2022. Presenting the report will be Dr. Fatih Birol, the IEA’s Executive Director, and Peter Fraser, the head of the IEA’s Gas, Coal and Power Markets Division. Bob McNally, Founder and President of The Rapidan Group and Center on Global Energy Policy Fellow will moderate the discussion following the presentation.
